Important Test Strip Information
•Store the test strip package in a cool, dry place below 30°C (86°F). Keep away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not refrigerate.
•Store your test strips in their original vial only; do not transfer them to a new bottle or any other container.
•After removing a PocketScan™ Test Strip from the vial, replace the vial cap and close it tightly.
•You may touch the test strip anywhere on its surface when removing it from the vial or inserting it into the meter.
•Use each test strip immediately after removing it from the package.
•Write the discard date on the vial label when you open it. Discard PocketScan Test Strips and the vial three months after first opening.
•Apply only PocketScan™ Control Solution or a blood sample to the target area. Applying other substances to the target area will cause inaccurate results.
•Do not use test strips beyond the expiration date printed on the package since they may cause inaccurate results.
•Do not bend, cut, or alter a PocketScan Test Strip in any way.
WARNING: Keep the test strip vial away from children; the cap is a choking haz- ard. Also, the cap contains a pouch filled with drying agents that may be harmful if inhaled or swallowed and may cause skin or eye irritation.
